FAMILY BUILDERS

Family Builders is here to help find permanent, loving families for children and youth in the foster care system - that's our only goal. We connect children with individuals and couples who can provide safe, stable, nurturing families. Our services are free and confidential, and include adoption, foster care, and other forms of permanency. We have experience working with all types of children, youth, and families.

Family Builders welcomes traditional families; single-parent families; both men and women; gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender families; transracial and multiracial families; and all other families as prospective adoptive parents. Family Builders is committed to serving all families equally with dignity and respect. We provide all services in English & Spanish and welcome monolingual Spanish-speaking families. We do not discriminate on the basis of the fact or perception of a person’s race, creed, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, height, weight, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, domestic partner status, parental status, marital status, veteran status, genetic information, medical status or disability, or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome or HIV status. 

TNDC work is guided by a holistic understanding of Homes, Health, and Voice. Housing as essential to a person's health. Food as health. Sustainability as health and a voice for the environment. Social work as advocacy. Advocacy as essential to being able to build more homes and foster community health. Learn more about how each piece works together to create opportunities for people and communities to thrive.
